Quote:#BREAKING A passenger on the Grand Princess just sent me this video of Coast Guard helicopters arriving. They will be testing people on the ship and flying tests back to a lab in Richmond, BEFORE ship comes back to port in San Francisco

They're not even letting the fucking ship NEAR PORT before they test these people.
I mean damn, y'all...
What are we supposed to gather from that??
I mean I think it's a GOOD thing that they're keeping it away...
Seems like an ABUNDANCE of caution...
What happens to cruise ship waste???
Maybe that's why they're keeping it so far away.

So if they dump it in the ocean, that's probably why they don't want them anywhere near port...
I bet they will keep them away for the entire process if that is why they are doing this and if people start testing positive.

Lady talking now sounds pretty freaked out.
So many press conferences going on at once all over the country that Steve can't even broadcast 'em all.
Worse to be on the Grand Princess than it was to be on the Diamond Princess...
People on the Diamond had the psychological buffer of being at port.
People on the Grand Princess are amidst a sea of gray right now.
Steve is pointing out this woman talking at the San Diego presser doesn't even mention the AT&T worker who has the coronavirus...
He seems shocked that these fucking idiots have no idea what's going on in their own fucking areas.
Kinda like when that other fucker at a presser the other day said there had only been one death when there had been two that day.
And seems like another presser announced only one case when there were really two...
But there have been so many I can't remember which pressers they were.
Is it purposeful under reporting, or is it just total ignorance?
Steve reporting stocks are down 4.2%.
George state presser at 4PM today.

Gonna be harder to get food out to 'em too.
They at least gave the Diamond Princess passengers a lot of consolation prizes while they were there.
Looks like the people on the Grand Princess are in for a truly shitty time.
The only way those passengers get out of this situation fast is if there is extreme incompetence on the part of the officials making the decisions here.
If they let those people disembark, they will spread the illness even more...
If they let them disembark, it'll be better on Princess cruises because they will be able to load up more victims passengers and set sail for another doomed voyage.
Lookner is disgusted with Trump's tweets about how successful he's been at handling this situation, and how the polls are high. Lookner finds fault with Trump's lack of serious address toward this issue.
Death toll in Washington state now 11.
US death toll 12... 1 dead in Cali, 11 in Washington state.
And this is only because they started testing in Washington due to this nursing home fiasco.
This is a tiny portion of what is happening in this country right now.
Maybe they want the passengers to be permanently isolated on the cruise ships so that they have offspring with a natural immunity to the coronavirus.
